cost of furnace replacement

I have a 10 kw York electric furnace and its too small to heat the house, I need a 12 kw furnace. I looked online and they range from $4-800. If I go through a contractor there ill be a mark up plus labor of removing old one and installing the new one. How much should I expect to spend?

Well the heating guy recommended adding a heat pump and use my 10 kw electric furnace as backup. He said my utilities would be cheaper than putting a bigger furnace in, but I thought a heat pump was useless in colder weather.

Most heat pumps are useless below -10°F. How manys days a year is your area below -10?

$2500 is what it cost for our A/C install. I would shop around and try to find the best deal. I got lucky and got a R-22 unit that was ordered by someone, but they never picked it up, so actually saved some money on mine. If I had to do it again, I would go with a Heat pump, since we get a huge rebate from our City owned Utility company.

Well, he did say it would cut my heating cost in half. The way he explained it was when it got this cold out that was yesterday and it was 27 out that my furnace would kick on to help but since my furnace is too small anyway I figured I would be in the same boat I am now.
